I read today that AF speed is better than the RX1, but not as good as some other mirrorless. I'll wait and see. Plus, I need a fast 35 (prefer f/1.4, but 2 if necessary) as this is the lens I use 97% of the time on my Canon 6D. So I'll likely wait a while, but I am intrigued.

Since it doesn't have Tri-Navi, I want to find out what the controls are going to be instead.

Also, I'm hoping that there will be a way to do bracketed exposures with either a remote or a cable release. If this is not possible, I'll probably consider some other option altogether.

Isn't there an app for bracketed exposures for the NEX-5R, 5T and 6?

I personally like the tri-navi on my NEX-7, but I would prefer a dedicated program and exposure comp dial, along with wheels on the back and front - but yes, I would wait and see if the ergonomics suit me.

There was also a SR4 or 5 rumour about a ned LA-EA4(?) adapter. It could be the full frame version of the EA2. In that case a pairing with the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 OS USM or 35mm f/1.4 would make a pro like setup with DSLR fast PDAF and stabilization in the zoom.

You would think so, right? It's not like people have been asking for a bigger EV range and more steps...

When and if the rumored cameras are released a poll could be made here.Suggestion for the poll:Question: Will you buy Sony NEX FF now?1. Yes, A72. Yes, A7r3. No, never buy first edition of anything4. No, to expensive for me.5. No, don't need FF.6. No, not the FF camera spec. I want.7. No, to few E-mount FF lenses now so I wait.8. No, don't need a new camera now.9. I am not sure yet, so I wait some more.

Lurking here to watch the rumors evolve......hopefully into reality. However, I wouldn't pay a premium price for any camera based on specs. I need to see it in hand and read some tests of its performance. The retail price in Australia is also critical to me - we often have to pay a painful premium over US prices. If the premium is too high, then it's stick with APSC for a while......

This is a new system. The lenses are part of the package. The 35mm may well interest me, but I would really want a small, high grade 24mm as well and none has been tipped. I'm not so sure about getting 24mm via the Zeiss zoom unless it really is stellar. And if not, that leaves RF and DSLR 24mm primes, and we don't yet know how either type of lens will perform on the new sensor. This will be critical information from early owners.

I really use a Sigma 35 and a Canon 100L 2.8 Macro as the only two lenses I need. I enjoy macro, but I could go manual focus for that using legacy glass. But I'd want AF for portraits. And, the SAL135F18Z 135mm f/1.8 is appealing using that adapter, I suppose. I am not sure I'd enjoy my big Sigma 35 on an adapter and then attached to the tiny A7r, but I suppose it would be a bit lighter than my 6D, so there's that. Hmmm.

...the UI (esp. the menu structure) and the controls significantly overhauled from the N7 menu disaster (despite using my N7 pretty intensely for two years now, I still do hate its menus the same as on day one), then YES;

but already we read on SAR that OSPDAF of A7 might not live up to a task of efficiently shooting/tracking fast action, sports or wildlife

the: "not as good as some other mirrorless" is hardly a good recommendation as even sould it be as good as other mirrorless, even the best ones are still not exactly champions of fast action AF performance - ALAS

I'm in two minds of this with FF. I want it, but can't see me actually NEEDING it !!

I get to see images from FF shooters I stand next to for bird shooting and to be honest, completely honest with myself, I'm not missing out on a lot. I know the benefits of it, but again the main benefits of it are more to do with who is actually behind it and what's in front of the sensor (lenses).

So I'm torn with this one and the choice. My sensible part of my tiny brain says I am better off to get another NEX-7 and a Nikkor AI 400mm F/3.5 ED. To me that makes far more sense for what I want.

Out of that list you have there, only one thing really hits me that I do need and not just want for the sake of it and that's 1/8000.

All the best and the more I think about it, the more the sensible side kicks in
